Oil rebounds as investors assess recession risks | Reuters

Oil prices edged higher on Thursday after earlier falls as investors weighed the risks of recession and how fuel demand will be affected by rising interest rates and tight supplies.

Brent crude futures rose by 38 cents, or 0.3%, to $112.12 by 1204 GMT, having dropped as low as $108.04 earlier in the session.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were up 32 cents, or 0.3%, at $106.51 after touching a session low of $102.32.

Both benchmarks plunged 3% on Wednesday and are at their lowest since mid-May.
